Hanau, Germany – January 29, 2010. The European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition (EU PVSEC) and the International Photovoltaic Equipment Association (IPVEA) will present the ‘PV Production Forum 2010’ for photovoltaic manufacturing technologies at the 25th EU PVSEC and 5th World Conference on Photovoltaic Energy Conversion (WCPEC-5) on September 7, 2010 in Valencia, Spain.

This educational meeting will feature presentations on several topics including silicon and thin-film production, which will be led by IPVEA members and other industry experts. The PV Production Forum 2010 will provide an essential opportunity for networking across all segments of the PV value chain along with informing its participants about the changing dynamics, technologies and developments in the PV manufacturing supply chain.

Bryan Ekus, Managing Director of IPVEA, said: “There is a high demand for a B2B workshop where industry experts from the PV production industry provide insights into their business. This forum addresses best practices and case studies that can assist PV production management, purchasing staff, and product managers how to increase throughput, efficiency, and save money in their production fabs. The 25th EU PVSEC and WCPEC-5 as the world’s leading business-to-business and science-to-industry forum for the global PV solar sector is the perfect platform to introduce the PV Production Forum.”
